465 Who's he?
"..."
"..."
Two minutes have passed since; but yet, no one took the words.
'Indeed, the complications that occurred when I purified the roots of the tree were not caused by anyone other than its host, my sister who beca my enemy. Ah, what kind of joke is that?' Alvine mumbles in his mind while emptying his cup of tea for the umpteenth ti.
The two then sighed at the sa ti; to believe that they had the sa thoughts in mind.
"You're not going to try to pursue him to shoot him down?" Isolat then asks.
Alvine didn't need to ask who she was talking about. "No, imdiately, I would just like to enjoy this mont of tranquility that will probably be our last peaceful head-to-head." He said while smiling ironically.
Isolat's eyes also seed to show so debris of emotion that she wanted to hide but that she could hardly do. "Have you always had that sweet tongue?"
"A sweet tongue? It is a fairly unique taphor of its kind. But will you let pursue him without doing anything?"
Alvine received only a little fake smile as an answer.
"Just now, you said you wanted to enjoy this mont of peace, didn't you?" Understanding that Alvine had understood her intentions behind the smile that she wore as a mask, Isolet changed the subject.
"Yes, that's my intention, unless you drive out of here; I don't have the slightest power in this area."
"...It's ridiculous what you're trying to push to do, big brother." She growls in a dark mood.
Alvine raises his eyebrows slightly when he sees her reaction to his joke; but still decides to shut up, without comnt.
Beside, Isolet then gets up from her chair and walks towards Alvine before stopping half a ter from him.
"... Since this is the case, can I...
Seeing her hesitant look while guessing what she had behind her head, Alvine smiled with wit. "I have nothing against it, but your current build doesn't really help things."
On the other side, When she heard Alvine's dilemma, she said nothing, but her long hair, which dragged behind her, instantly beca shorter, as did her adult size, which returned to the old one.
Seeing this, Alvine didn't make her wait either. He regains his demonic shape with his black scaly skin, huge wings erging on his back, and finally, his two black and one red horns erge on his temples and forehead.
"Since I'm in astral shape, I can't do better than that." He then made this revelation.
But Isolet didn't seem to care.
With a simple touch, she reduced the table to nil and jumped on Alvine's lap, as she used to do.
Seeing her so enthusiastic, Alvine felt like he had a knot around his neck; a mixed feeling of sadness and guilt invaded him without prevention, making his heart as heavy as a Thitic stone in his chest.
He then naturally raises his hand and rubs Isolat's white hair, who shudders at his contact.
'It's so ironic that it becos laughable.' He whispered to himself while lowering his head towards Isolet was still silent, probably due to the weight of her emotions that were also wreaking havoc on her heart.
"Say to , brother…
“Huh?”
“Why do we have to keep on this road?"
Alvine's hand stopped unconsciously when he heard Isolat's question which seed to stifle her emotions.
"Well, as for this question, I think you already know its answer, Isolet."
"I know! But why did it have to be you? Why couldn't it be another person?"
"Go find out why, but I don't know it; the sa question has always haunted since I learned the truth about you." He whispers his last sentence while closing his eyes.
Hearing Alvine's answer, she clenches her fists. "It's cheating; you don't have the right to answer my question with another."
"...You may be right; I'm a failed big brother, I guess."
“….”
"Just now, before coming here, I saw a brother who left his twin sister in nature without doing anything to protect her; at that mont, I realized that I envied them when I realized the confidence between them. As this is the first ti I felt this feeling of jealousy, it took ti before I knew why." He said, continuing to pet her head after seeing the latter slightly shake her head under his hand.
"...What exactly do you an, brother? Although I have grown up, I still have trouble understanding you when you talk to about these complicated things." She said as she raised her head towards Alvine.
But when she realized that she should sacrifice Alvine’s petting for it, she abandoned this idea, assuming that the sacrifice was not worth it.
Alvine, who saw her actions, found it more difficult to see her differently than usual.
But he knew that this era was over.
He then contemplates the flower field as far as the eye can see while muttering in a static tone...
"Do you know why I gave you Isolet as a na?"
"Um, I rember it. You told that my na had sothing to do with the planet on which you found . It was white as snow, and of a loneliness that fascinated you from the first ti; hence my na."
"..."
"...But when you think about it, these explanations are not really satisfactory for that." She adds after a brief reflection.
Alvine smiles ironically. "Hehe, you may be right; it shows that you have grown. Maybe I have also grown in maturity since that ti.
-In reality, I lied to you; maybe it was because of my pride, or for any other reasons, but I didn't tell you what motivated to call you that. But now, it doesn't matter anymore. I was inspired by the word 'Isolate' to give you your na."
"Huh? It's even more worse than I imagined."
Seeing her sulk, Alvine laughs with fun. "Hahaha..., you're not wrong. - Frankly, I saw myself in you when I saw you alone on that desert planet. Isolated from the world, as if all compassion were only an illusion, Isolate, your na.
-I called you that because you were the one who most resembled , even at that ti; lonely, but ignorant of this loneliness."
"..."
"When you think about it, I might have done better not to take you with , it would have saved us a lot of...-
"I don't agree." She cuts Alvine off before he finishes his sentence.
The latter looks at her in a brief silence while going on caressing her cascading soft hair.
"...I see, it's a sha, but you should change your approach." He then whispered to her.
"I don't see why I should do this. It's rather up to you to do it; my holy powers are dangerous and harmful to soone like you, you shouldn't have gone further going far to take this stupid initiative."
To hear her, one would almost think she was worried about Alvine; but behind the words, the intentions are hidden.
"And you then? I find it hard to see you so contradictory with yourself.; after all, you did the sa thing."
"..." Having nothing to complain about Alvine’s decree, she decides to remain silent on this fact while addressing another subject.
"Do you have a sense of who this entity is?" She asks Alvine this question?
"Our self-proclaid diator? I don't know more than you."
"Stop lying to , you probably have an idea behind your head."
"Uh, as if you don't have any. Seen from this angle, mistrust is on the lookout in my opinion."
"...Yes, you're not wrong, brother. But all I can tell you is that he is not soone I trust. The world is made up of four elents, naly water, fire, wind, and earth. But beyond these four fundantal elents that govern the planets, whatever their ranks, there are other elents; for example, light and darkness." Isolet made this remark to Alvine who listened to her without interrupting her.
But seeing her stop (perhaps to check if her brother was on the sa wavelength as her), Alvine had a sneaky smile and continued what she did not dare to say.
"Given that he presented himself as COD’s fragnt, so, I will base myself on this point by adding this. Beyond darkness, and light, are ti and space; won’t know why, but I think that these four other elents are just as interconnected and work in harmony or cancel each other out like the first four fundantal elents.
-Light and darkness are like water and fire; each essential as the other, but unable to coexist. They are in constant mutual conflict, intended to harm the other; this is the only result that erges in their unions, destruction.
-Earth and Wind are like neutral and complentary elents. They are not hostile like the first two, and never conflict by nature; only if they are influenced by external nuisances.
-This harmony does not only exist between the two, they have also made allies; the wind has allied itself with fire, making it more burning, and the earth has allied itself with water, even creating another independent elent but no less powerful than the four elents; wood.
-Considering that water and fire are like light and darkness which cancel each other out and cannot coexist, ti and space will probably play roles similar to those of wind and earth; hypocrites who are only intended to increase the power of enemy pairs like the wind made with fire. Or with the water, turning it on ice when it mixes with this affinity(water wind)."
Isolet then goes on with Alvine's assumptions; without even realizing it, the two seem to have reached a mutual agreent to share their information.
Being the one who started the ga, she was naturally glad to see Alvine cooperating with her; even if it was only a short-term cooperation.
"But why do the fundantal elents have several representatives? For example, the spirits of fire, water, earth, and wind? Not to ntion subcategories, such as wood for example."
"I've no idea; maybe because they are less powerful than the other category. Do not forget that there are also so imbalances between them. Although the fire is in second place, it has several weak points. Without air and water, it cannot keep on its existence."
"..." -Isolet
"Finally, let's return to the subject that concerns us. Few people like our dear self-proclaid diator exist in this vast universe, which will allow us to make less effort to identify it; finally, nothing is certain."
Upon hearing Alvine's speculation on the issue, Isolet's eyes beca blacker. "Why do you think that? I believe that his power is based on materialization; how can it be otherwise?"
"What do I know? I'm just saying that he may want to mislead us by making us believe that his powers are materialization."
